Got out of the proverbial dysfunctional family life, got married, and back into a dysfunctional married life. Got smart and got out of that one after 2- ½ years. First daughter, Michelle (born in 1963), and I were on our own until I married Dave Norman in Aug. 1966; we had Stephanie in 1967 (for those of you who count, it was almost a full year later!) and Jennifer in 1970. We have five granddaughters, Melissa 18, Emily 15, Gwendolyn 13, Charley 6, and Jessie 4. I have been blessed many times over and often wonder how in the world I ever got such a special and loving family! Dave and I still own our commercial glass shop (Dave Norman Glass, Inc.) since 1978, plus I’ve worked on and off in other areas for many years, ending up with a medical transcription service which I gave up about seven years ago. We live in Lake Oswego on 8 acres, where life is great, and to make it even greater, both Carolyn and I are looking forward to this reunion. We visited with Linda (nee Hunt) in Bend a couple of days earlier, and look forward to seeing everyone at the dinner, especially (and hopefully) our classmates from Willamette Grade School. See you all soon. Would love to have a set of year books from West Linn covering my time there. If anyone knows of someone who would like to give or sell some, please let me know. Thanks.
